I see people thinking that semite=Jew, but bear in mind that “semite” was a term created in 1781 by german philologist Ludwig Schlotzer to describe languages that are similar (Arabic, hebrew, Aramaic, etc).

Many other languages are considered semite, and Hebrew was not even the first of them.

If you check in Wikipedia, you can also see how this people migrated over time:

    anti-black and Islamophobic sentiment already does enough lifting to attack both Jews and non-Jews who speak Semitic languages

    How? Anti-black and islamophobia are so different from anti-Semititism. I’d like to know how those two things also affect other demographics beyond their main targets (those being B-POC and Muslims)
